Opps, Have not read entire thread.
What happened to JetEffect 6?

It is actually spec'ed pretty nicely and not sure why some feel it won't be audiophile level.
Well, it depends. The Jet Effect is not bad, the EQ works great, and the Mach 3 Bass, MP Enhance and Stereo Enhance are nice features. Now, the BBE, 3D Surround and Reverb are probably just gimmicks...but IMO they are still worth it.

Me neither. The measured results are confirming that it is on "audiophile level". D/A conversion is the most numbers-driven subsection of high-end audio, much more so than anything else.
No doubt this will be great!
Having owned the Z2 for almost 2 years (had to get rid of it since dacs were piling up), I just hope if it's android they have the latest OS. Also I hope they fix that battery issue they had with the Z2 (the back side heats up while charging in the first couple of months and the player used to 'brick', but when it cools down it works again).
I find it ironic that Sony talks about DSD, and hasnt implemented it in the ZX-1, while all these 'newer' companies are offering it. Thanks Cowon!
128GB internal + micro-sd slots is a huge plus for me!
Bye Sony!

Umm more options...
I wonder how this is going to end??
Empty wallets and happy eardrums
I believe that the battery that is in the Z2 has a temperature pin. The PMIC (power management IC) has a security feature. If the charging temperature is too high it shuts down, until the temperature of the battery reaches normal levels. This is most likely amateur blabla from me, because sometime read a lot of PMIC Datasheets.... A solution for this could be a lower current wall charger ~0,3A or lower. The battery cannot handle the fast charging. Cowon is always trying to put in large batteries to prolonge battery life. If you would like to charge it healthy, one would need a half day for a battery. What they do is to pump up the battery real fast and bring it to its spec limits.
If there could be a custom rom or kernel (I do not know where this is handled in Android), one could adjust the charging settings. One could get rid of that problem. BUT, take this with a grain of salt (this is for you whereas).
DSD has never been really successful in the industry. It's the flavour of the month right now....
Cowon better announce the price of this otherwise everybody will spend their money on X5 and DX90. ZX1 has already been here for a long while too.
